Luxurious neck

The new hand-rubbed, oiled and waxed roasted Maple neck adds an even classier feel to what was already a jaw-dropping instrument. The flawlessly crafted Alder body and flamed Maple headstock also give off truly vintage vibes.

Hardware and circuitry

The completely new chrome-plated tremolo system in the bridge means you can whammy yourself away all day without going out of tune. Featuring silent vintage spec circuitry, experience the true, authentic sound of a 1970s Music Man guitar but with silent, transparent buffered output.

Pickups

The Cutlass HSS has a crunchy custom-made ceramic humbucker in the bridge to compliment the two snappier single coil pickups in the middle and neck positions. You will see a real variation in tones when rolling off and on the volume and tone controls. 

Here’s what Music Man say about the Cutlass:

The 2018 Cutlass RS HSS features a brand new roasted figured maple neck with rosewood or maple fingerboard (fingerboard option depends on body color). The RS HSS model retains all of the familiar elements of the original Cutlass including an alder body, super smooth modern tremolo and oversized 4 over 2 headstock. The bridge pickup in the HSS is a custom wound Music Man ceramic humbucker with a vintage sound that compliments the single coils yet has plenty of crunchy rhythms and biting lead tones. Also new for 2018 are two new finish options - Firemist Silver with maple fretboard and Stealth Black with ebony fretboard and matte black finished maple neck.
